Abstract:Our brain faces the dilemma of exploiting familiar options to gain immediate rewards or exploring new options to increase probable future rewards, in many real-life decisions, and solves it by direct and random exploration. Previous studies show that these two explorative strategies have dissociable neural correlates in the brain. Using the continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) and horizon task, we investigate the causal role of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC) in direct and random explora… Show more
